Introduction, your journey begins:

Halo fans rejoice! Halo is back and looking outstanding with Halo 5. This game has been built from the ground up to be competitive and GameOn has 8 months of tournaments LAN and Online in 2016 season lined up with a big Grand Final LAN at the end of the year. Just like our Gears and COD series, you will play 1 LAN every single month till end of 2016. Points will be rewarded that level up your personal ranking and will be used for bracket seeding in the Grand Final LAN. Below you will see team pass pricing for each month and a link for settings, maps and game types. You may register in 1 or all of the brackets you would like to compete in at the very bottom of this page. Settings and game types are subject to change depending on what HCS is implementing.We will update this page monthly as we continue to work on our point system and our new website currently in development. Once we launch our new website points will be everything in many different ways so start competing now. You may also register your team on this page each month for the next LAN event.

Stream:

We will be streaming on twitch.tv/GameOnLLC Starting at 12:30 pm EST with FFA followed by 2v2 and 4v4. We will stream till we have completed all 3 brackets. This is a 1 day event.

What do I need to bring?

1.) Make sure you have an xbox live gold profile

2.) A copy of the game digital or disc

3.) Astro mix amp and headset (if you do not have these you can still play)

4.) Your preferred wired controller. You may use wireless but must remove battery’s after playing to prevent interference. Scuff and Microsoft pro controllers are allowed. If you have any off brand controllers, it can not have any mods that would be considered cheating such as rapid fire and other firm ware updates that would give an unequal advantage during play.

5.) cash for team passes

6.) MESLive.tv ID number!!!!! This is free to sign up and required in order to get your LGU Points so and bring your id number with you please. You can find your id number on your dashboard once you log in on MESlive.tv .

LGU Points serve many different things in your journey through our Halo Series. Each player will earn points based on how they place as well as points just for playing in FFA that help your seed for 2v2 or 4v4. Points stack. To get the most points in a LAN, you can play in all 3 brackets. The points will level your player card up each month which will determine your qualification in the top 8 team LAN at the end of the season. More details will be posted on this page later in the 2016 season. Points for team based brackets such as 4v4 are a combined total. If you have 20 points and I have 30 points, as a team we have 50. That’s how we do seeding for all team based brackets but the points are recorded separately just in case you play with a different team at some point in the season. Halo FFA will determine your seed in the 4v4 each month. 1 member per team will get a free entry into the FFA. If all your players play in FFA, you have a better chance of getting a higher seed each month as those points will be based on placings in FFA. 2v2 is based on LGU Points not FFA. All other LGU Points you earn will be recorded for seeding in the final top 8 LAN at the end of the 2016 season in October so start earning points and enjoy having competitive Halo back in Pittsburgh!!

LGU Points have the same break down as MES Points and are recorded as points to be used for any LGU sanctioned tournaments such as MES, KOTC, AGN and many others. If you used the free FFA pass from buying a 4v4 team pass you will still get LGU Points for the 4v4 bracket.

LGU Points ran from series points so if we announce the tournament is a 2K LGU Point Series, all 4 players on the winner 4v4 team will receive 2,000 LGU Points, the 2nd place team would get 1200 points per player, and so on. All participating teams get points based on what place they earned, and you will not get points for registering and not showing up. No-shows are removed from the bracket before points are distributed. LGU Points must be earned. Once the player profiles are available online, a complete break down will be posted on the website for players to review and plan a team strategy for earning the most points possible.

Player Rankings and qualifying for final LAN:

Each player earns points that will level up your experience bar each month. Once our new site launches, you will see were you stand. For now we will be recording your points and will try and get a basic way for you to see were you stand in our season according to individual player points. Rankings will be based on points not stats. This page will be updated once we have that up on our website.

Building your Halo team with points:

Once we get started with recording the points, you will see everyone who has the most to the least amount of points and a way to contact them when building a new team. This will be built into our new website under team builder. We are going to start recording stats for LAN only. That will help you in building your team and choosing players. Also keep in mind that if a player missed a month or 2 they will not be as high of a rank as if a player played who attends every month and played in every bracket. In this case, make sure to judge a player on there stats and reputation. Next to each player be sure to check if they are a free agent or on a team.
